Stateflow Chart Considerations

ID: Title	hisf_0065: Type cast operations in Stateflow^® to improve code compliance
Description	In Stateflow charts that use the C action language, use the `:=` notation to protect against Stateflow casting integer and fixed-point calculations to wider data types than the input data types.
Note	If you follow this and other modeling guidelines, you increase the likelihood of generating code that complies with the coding standards.
Rationale	To avoid implicit casts in the generated code that might violate coding standards.
Model Advisor Checks	Check assignment operations in Stateflow Charts (Simulink Check)

ID: Title	hisf_0211: Protect against use of unary operators in Stateflow Charts to improve code compliance
Description	To improve code compliance of the generated code:
Description	A	Do not use unary minus operators on unsigned data types.
Note	The MATLAB^® and C action languages do not restrict the use of unary minus operators on unsigned expressions.
Rationale	Improve code compliance of the generated code.
Model Advisor Checks	Check Stateflow charts for unary operators (Simulink Check)
